but first, yoga'ing to balance the mind and practice restraint ;) acala yoga today.
Found this - poignant considering my upcoming meeting.
Acala is one of the five Vidyarajas, kings of knowledge. Each of the vidyaraja is represented with a ferocious expression, to keep evil at bay. They express the will to fight hate and develop love. Their ferocious attitude is the determination to progress on the path of spirituality ans realization.
Acala in particular shows great compassion to all beings, as the flames engulfing him burn away karmic ties, severing them with the sword of wisdom, and restraining all straying thoughts from escaping dharma with the rope he holds in his left hand.

Sounds intense. I'm going to look up a picture of acala, so I can visualize you facing down challenges at your meeting.
